A first cargo from Golar LNG’s floating LNG (FLNG) production unit Hilli Episeyo off Cameroon is due to depart for China early this week.

The 138,000-cbm Galicia Spirit (built 2004) has returned to the 1.2-million tonnes per annum floater to resume loading its remaining three tanks.

The LNG carrier is due to leave with the shipment for PetroChina once operations have been completed within the next 24 hours.
